The delicate thing about the university is that it has a mixed character, that it is suspended between its position in the eternal world, with all its corruption and evils and cruelties, and the splendid world of our imagination.

Richard Hofstadter

Lawrence Clark Powell

Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or they didn't.
